SkySails cannot be held liable for claims relating to damages of a material or non-material nature caused by the use or non-use of the presented information and/or the use of erroneous, incomplete or inaccurate information, except in established cases of gross negligence or willful acts on the part of SkySails.

All offers are non-binding and subject to confirmation.

Sole liability for illegal, erroneous, inaccurate or incomplete content, and in particular for damages arising from the use or non-use of such provided information, is borne by the owner or operator of the page to which the reference or link was made, and not by the party that merely refers or links to such external postings.

2. Links and References

SkySails’ liability for direct or indirect links and references to external websites beyond the scope of SkySails’ responsibility or influence is limited exclusively to those instances when SkySails has knowledge of the content of such sites and it was technically possible and reasonable for it to prevent their use in cases when such sites contain illegal content.
